A white PSP-3000 was released with the Assassin's Creed bundle.

Yup, thats the one I have (bought it from a Gaffer actually), but you can buy a white PSP from Japan, it'll still play games in the States, I'm pretty sure its region free.

I checked out the AC PSP but it has a glitter finish. Thanks for the advice guys, I will be putting my order now and look forward to the huge collection of portable titles at my disposal. To be honest I may probably be using it only for travel, when at home I will opt for the PC/Console alternatives, but you never know, maybe it tempts me to play in bed!

Eh, what the hell. Getting this for $20 makes it easier to swallow with all these other games coming out these next couple of months :lol

Huzzah, my copy shipped... Now to wait until Tuesday for delivery.
This long...long wait since beating KH2 is almost over...

Definitely want this, but I want to see where I can get it at a discount. After Metroid Other M and Valkryia Chronicles 2, I don't know if I have it in me to drop down another $40 especially since Halo Reach comes out the following week!

I think Frys is selling it at $33, which isn't bad. Hopefully it isn't online-only.

I played through most of KH1 but KH2 dominated nearly a week or two of my life, had surprisingly a lot of fun out of it. I really liked Roxas, and extremely disliked Sora donald goofy and co. I'm supposing I'd like this game? Or is the story too far out there? KH2 seemed to wrap everything up. Not sure where else the plot could go, even prequel wise,

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this game went on the top 5 for next month's NPDs.

The KH series always sells well. Makes me really wonder if we'll ever get any new news on a console KH game... :(

Don't want to wait 5 years, you know. :(

We'll see if it can, Dissidia was one of the most pirated games ever, didn't break 500k in the states, and was still the highest selling PSP game of 2009. =/ Peace Walker didn't manage to do very well either. Let's see if KH can do it.

Wow surprised that it's #2 on Amazon's bestseller list - right under Halo Reach
Click to expand...
I know that's pretty surprising imo but nice to see. Just wish Valkryia Chronicles 2 was right behind it.

Hopefully it does but the PSP has really dropped off.

Gamespot review - 7.5

358/2 Days scored 8.0 :lol

OK I am a member of the 358/2 Days Defense force and even I think that BBS is a better game.

Varth said:
BbS is the right one for you, then. Story is very straightforward, and even the nods to what-happened-here-and-there are pretty much self explanatory in the whole game.
Click to expand...

Yes. Unlike every other game in the series, this game is completely stand alone. You can play and get pretty much the entire plot except for a few nods at the absolute very end. References to the earlier games in the series are just there so people who've played them can go "Ooohh yeah, that."

This may be a bit out of place of a question but in the last few months I have been really itching for a PSP, I have finally had enough and would like to catch up on games such as Crisis Core and have lots of Jrpg's in my pocket on the go.

Check your PMs. :) I have one collector's edition I'll sell/trade, with Axel strap and other goodies.

So which psp(s) feature dualshock support and video output? And are they worth it? My wife likes the KH series and psp isn't exactly ideal for playing a game that someone likes to watch. I wish handheld games would stick to quick play style games and not rpgs and story driven games that people play at their homes anyway. /rant.

Well, the PSP GO has Dualshock input AND video output.

I have this preordered from Amazon. Free release date delivery and everything. Plus $10 credit. I haven't bought a UMD in over a year.

GameFly shipped it out for me this morning, which I found to be pretty strange. Wasn't expecting that until Wednesday.

Playing Kingdom Hearts 1 now for the first time, trying to get into the series to see what I've been missing.

I think the first KH plays rather horribly to be quite honest, that camera is especially way too close and damn that underwater stage to hell.

It's worth a playthrough but I really like the future games in the series much more.

Ahh, I kind of wanted that one, but most import places sold out of it fairly fast.

Yeah, hasn't aged well.

Make sure to be a mage or defender; only losers play as warriors.

I guess this is how they are going to do release date shipping for the game since Monday is a holiday.

while it does play kinda crummy now, i gotta say i think they story was more solid the first time around, though you are right, i think the second game plays way better. im super stoked about this new one though! the DS game fell a little flat for me, its the only one i havnt beaten - and i played the gba one thru both times as sora and rikku

I can see your point now about the camera issues, it's def. a fight every time I face enemies- having to seeing the camera around a lot. Also the gummi ship mini game thing is annoying as hell =/ Also I did pick warrior, am I screwed?

Out of 1 MP point, sure. But it's not going to matter unless you're a completionist.

No, but you are a loser. :p

In reality it takes you a while to learn guard and you're probably bad at magic.

No big deal, you're just going to have to learn to love attack and Dodgeroll. And limit breaks I guess.

Make sure you lock-on to every enemy.

Ahh KH1, the reason I bought a PS2 along with FFX and one of my most replayed games back then. The camera is ass but lock-on solved most of the problems for me.

Nice to see some in the thread getting interested in the series with BbS. Welcome to our convoluted fun!

Bah, guess I got my order in too late, since Amazon isn't offering Release Day Shipping anymore (even though it still says it on the order page). Won't be shipped till the 13th. :(

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I gotta reserve my copy tomorrow. :T

FFFFFFFFFF.

I lent out my two normal PSPs to two friends currently in states different from my own. And now I'm left with my PSP GO.


Damnit.

Man, I wish I still had a PSP to play this game.
I'm hesitant to pick one up though, seems like a 4000 model or a price drop is just around the corner. Money's a little tight too:lol
